The caster can detect if a non-hostile person or monster is charmed. If the target creature is under more than one such effect the spell does not reveal so. Nor does the spell reveal if the target is dominated or enchanted in some fashion besides being charmed.

If the magic is succesful the caster will immediately know whether the target is charmed, without needing any visual or audible cue. Only the caster learns of the spell's result, it is not otherwise discernible. If a creature is under the effect of a non-detection ward the caster will silently roll to bypass it, but if the ward succeeds the caster will not know that the spell has failed - he merely learns that the target isn't charmed.
